Can I not just pop in proudly with some sense of irony, the ghostly banshee cries of aborted babies, and a packet of frozen peas ?

Why must it all be about presentation with you masculine types ?

. . . . pops out just as proudly :lol:

The Joseph Barrow or, more recently, Wesley Snipes font is not compulsory, but has become a convention among some the more corporate members.

Finally, as the last bastion of Harris Tweed, Oxford Brogues and the Full Windsor knot, presentation is all.

I like the “lady’s” term but you could look slightly more concerned and slip me in a glass of port i won’t tell if you won’t 8)

suddenly worried about said lady’s survival, and concerned in case I get the blame for her remains beng found in a couple of yrs time, hands a glass of water and a slice of bread and butter to a grabby pair of hands, closing the door quickly. A sense of compassion has leds me to dunk a little of the bread in port, so she will be grateful.

Dwat, the port’s got butter in it now. *pours port down the sink, hoping nobody notices

Oh Dear Scep!

Rest assured Mathers has always ensured that whoever enters the club leaves unscathed, I’m sure Ms F_Pol is well fed and looked after, food, clothing, entertainment etc. and probably enjoying a break away from her day-to-day responsibilities. Worry not mon frere.

But as gentlemen, we pride ourselves on masculinity without machismo. We do make allowances for some of the more Outward Bound types.

Fortunately for our less exclusive brethren, when our club was founded, their love dared not speak its name, so our constitution has never restricted such involvements. We celebrate the popping out of members past and present at the annual Alfred Douglas Dinner (19th May).

Unfortunately, during Edwardian times, the Club introduced noise abatement regulations which specifically forbid any kind of banshee except on All Hallows eve when Father Ryan O’Paisley pops in for the annual exorcism.

Leave your peas at reception and I’m sure they’ll find their way into a kedgeree, or get mushed for the Friday Fish Fry.

Very impressive.

not me, Mrs T :^o
